Yes… I had moments when I used to cry behind the bathroom door

I’m the first to admit I love a good checklist and chart and you’ll never find me without one or the other!However, I’ve not always been so organised.Flashback to when I was a young mum with twins: My house was a mess…. my sanity was shot. When I wasn’t struggling to deal with the clean pile of Mt. Washmore on our couch, I was crying my heart out behind the closed bathroom door, groundhog days got the better of me. I wished desperately for a way to get on top of the cooking, cleaning, chores, and caring for myself a bit…something that had faded away since the babies were born.

I asked the mother’s group I was in for advice but sadly, they were struggling too! It took a fair amount of trial-and-error for me to realise that routines and schedules held the key to keep the home tidy, clothes washed, kids fed and happy and have a clean kitchen at the end of the day.

It may not seem like rocket science but when you’re a young mum, trying to juggle babies, dishes, laundry, cooking, chores and errands, it can drive you stir crazy and leave you feeling like a failure. I created systems that worked for us and since then, have used those foundational principles to keep up with our changing family dynamics.

I’ve distilled many years of cleaning and organising experience into 20-days of easy-to-follow steps and strategies so you can create a clean and chaos-free space that your family and you will love calling … HOME. Sharing the steps and tips I learnt to create a clean and organised home and my little-known secrets to creating strategies to eliminate family chaos to thrive together.

Join me with this easy-to-implement, daily tasks for 20 weekdays so you can quickly tick them off and be done with them, easily and painlessly.

Today is my twinnies 15th birthday, so I thought it was fitting to share my story above and open up the next round of the 20 Days to Organise and Clean your home eCourse and be confident in knowing the strategies and tips that I share are time-tested, kid-approved and life-adaptable to suit real-life.

With many different members in my community that may have babies, toddlers, tweens, teens, pets or plants to take care of. The tips and techniques I share are all based on a solid foundation that arms my community with the clarity and hope to reduce their chaos.

Kat, you are a true inspiration, I love how raw and honest you are because being a mother is so hard and it’s good to know that even you who seems to have the plot all together struggled too. Much love you you.
